About
Miss Sarah Muirhead-Allwood, an internationally renowned consultant orthopaedic surgeon, boasts over 30 years of experience and stands as one of the most seasoned practitioners conducting hip replacement procedures in the UK. She has earned distinction as one of the global pioneers in hip revision surgery and alternative approaches to hip replacement, including the two-incision approach and OCM direct anterior approach.
A member of esteemed professional associations such as the British Orthopaedic Association, British Hip Society, International Hip Society, European Hip Society, Royal Society of Medicine, and Royal College of Surgeons, Miss Muirhead-Allwood received the Royal College of Surgeons Robert Jones Lectureship and medal in 2021 for her significant contributions to hip surgery.
With a substantial body of work, Miss Muirhead-Allwood has authored numerous peer-reviewed papers and book chapters, while also delivering presentations at national and international conferences. Actively engaged in advancing the field, she collaborates with major orthopaedic manufacturers and university departments to develop new techniques and prostheses. Following her tenure at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, where she collaborated with the biomedical engineering department at University College London, she continued her research into hip surgery, working most recently with Professor Jonathan Jeffers at the mechanical engineering department at Imperial College London.
Specializing in hip revision and hip replacement for various arthritic hip conditions and developmental problems, including avascular necrosis, Miss Muirhead-Allwood, a surgeon catering to adults of all ages, continues to perform hip resurfacing—a treatment considered excellent for many young and active patients.
Driven by a commitment to enhance patient outcomes, Miss Muirhead-Allwood established The London Hip Unit two decades ago. The unit has since garnered a global reputation for clinical excellence, serving as one of the UK's exclusive private facilities dedicated to the specialized treatment and care of adults with hip problems.

My overall experience was excellent . The explanations of the procedure at the initial consultation were clear and easily understood.The procedure itself was a great success .I left the hospital after 48 hours with one crutch and no pain .I was walking without any support 2 days later . The 2 follow up meetings after 1 and 3 months were thorough and confirmed the success of the procedure .

My hip is reborn which has enhanced my quality of life no end - so am extremely grateful! No fuss, business-like, clear and decisive and her expertise is evident in the results.

Sarah had been recommended to me by two close friends who had been patients of hers in the last twenty years. Both friends had themselves received recommendations from well credentialed medical practitioners and both had wonderful results from the procedures she carried out. My whole experience from start to finish was underpinned by the confidence that Sarah projects when discussing treatment options and any potential risks. The procedure itself was not at all traumatic, with Sarah visiting on the day of the surgery to allay any fears, and then doing follow up consultations to ensure all was going well. The outcome is all I had hoped for, and I am now well on the road to full recovery; once again with the comfort of being overseen by Sarah at regular intervals. Highly recommended for anyone considering hip replacement surgery.

From the very moment we met Sarah we felt in completely safe and immensely competent hands. I was accompanying my 87 year old Mother on her ‘hip replacement’ journey. Sarah is not only an incredible surgeon but also a very empathetic and reassuring doctor. We were so lucky to ‘find’ her.
